The third stop of the camp's "A-Makan" Race was Niqqi's The Cheese Prata Shop, otherwise more affectionately known as Fong Seng Prata. If you realised, all three of the stops are relatively near NUS, and with a purpose too, since we wanted to get the freshmen accustomed to the places nearby. By this point, most of us were full enough not to order more than the stipulated dishes (the freshmen helped themselves to yummy bread at Petit Provence at Holland Village too) for the activity.
If you're thinking why is this place called Fong Seng Prata, it's because it's just a stall away from Fong Seng Nasi Lemak. Apparently, these two stalls have an agreement to allow customers to eat food from either places at their tables. This of course leaves out the stall in the middle, which coincidentally has kept changing hands and has been faced with poor business for as long as I could remember.
Cheese Prata
I hesitated on giving a rating on this because I personally don't fancy cheese with pratas, and it would probably come out looking bad when it isn't that horrid after all. In all fairness, it looked alright but I felt the flour/dough and overall flavour was missing somewhat. Very ordinary, and the tastes are like... Separated? It's like plain dough and then plain cheese, if you get what I mean.
Plaster Prata: 6.7/10
I wonder where this "plaster" prata came about, and how it caught on, because quite a good many places in Singapore are starting to sell this. It's a variation of the egg prata because instead of cooking the egg together with the prata, this one is kinda cooked on top (but still a little joined) of the prata, letting you have a fuller taste of the egg. So yes, it's stuck on the outside, just like a plaster. The plaster prata in this case was just alright, the egg did not have much taste other than being a tad burnt.
Maggi Goreng: 6.5/10
Seriously, if you ask me, I'm not really a huge fan of Niqqi's. It's just that it's the only place to go for supper if you're around school for camps and the like. I think the food is pretty much so-so, and it's not exactly cheap too. The maggi goreng is just cooked instant noodles Indian style, but there is little effort on ingredients. Portion is small too.
Service
Very dependent on their mood! I think good business from students have gotten into a lot of their heads. Waiting times can be terribly long too if it's crowded.
Price
Below $2 for the pratas each, I think a plaster goes for $1.40.
Maggi Goreng is about $2.50.
